Essas imagens dessa calmaria ficaram espetaculares
日本だとあのDead Calmを「油凪（Abura Nagui）」って呼ぶんだ。まるで油をたらしたみたいに、波が立ってないだろ？
I’ve heard the challenge isn’t launching the drone from the boat, it’s landing the drone on a moving vessel. How do they land drones on fast moving sailboats?
One thing that would be particularly interesting to see is how the OBR land their drones on the boat when moving at cruising speeds, like 15-20 knots. It's ridiculous how they don't lose their drones.
Beautiful drone shots!
These updates are SO well done. Great job, guys.
Are they able to generate enough electricity when sailing so slowly?
Now that looks like my kind of sailing 🙂
the doldrums, woo-hoo!!! (snark) anyone bring a ukulele? …"the girl from ipanema goes walking by"… love the coverage:)
If you’re looking to piss off the drone crowd, making a statement like “Launching them; well, there’s no special skill involved” will do it. 🙂
As a drone pilot (3 DJI drones), I think I see what you’re trying to say, but you’re really oversimplifying the issue. There’s no landing pad on the boat, so all take offs and landings are likely done by hand. Certainly easier during calm wind than not, but you’re still hanging onto a very angry, 3lb, spinny/choppy thing that hurts if it tilts over funny and nabs a hand or arm. And landing a drone, on a boat, in your hand, and not taking out sails, sheets, crew members, etc. is quite the skill, especially when the boat is moving at any kind of speed. Hats off the to OBR for getting the footage that we all appreciate, and not killing anyone or losing the drone. 🙂
Congratulations. The show and daily updates keep getting better and better every day. Breathtaking takes by the way wonderful coverage. keep it up.
Team Brunel have mentioned that they are a few knots slower in high winds (25 knots+). They seem to match the rest of the fleet in less wind. What could be the reason for this? Could there be a problem with their boat? Or do other teams have better sail setups and are pushing harder?
